On June 30th, 2009, one of the most memorable Nationals of their early history came to town. His name was Nyjer Morgan. He was not the most talented player, but he was a spark plug, who provided fireworks whenever he was on the field. Morgan was also a loose cannon, who provided brilliance, as well as moments of madness. There is a reason that there is a video called “Nyjer Morgan gets pissed off”.
Nyjer Morgan was not even the best player the Nationals got in that trade, reliever Sean Burnett was more important to the Nats future success.
